Arsenal predicted line up for Spurs clash.
Here’s our Arsenal predicted line up for the midweek Capital One Cup tie against Tottenham at White Hart Lane, with Arsene Wenger likely to rotate and experiment for this North London Derby…
GK: David Ospina
Replacing Petr Cech in goal, David Ospina is likely to play the cup games this season and should get a start against Spurs in this derby game.
DR: Mathieu Debuchy
With further rotation at the back, Mathieu Debuchy could get a chance in the first-team after losing his place to impressive youngster Hector Bellerin.
DL: Kieran Gibbs
Previously a key player at Arsenal, Kieran Gibbs is now behind Nacho Monreal in the pecking order but should be handed a start at White Hart Lane.

Arsenal transfer news
DC: Calum Chambers
Disappointing for Arsenal despite a bright start last season, Calum Chambers is sure to get a chance here and will have to grab it with both hands.
DC: Per Mertesacker
Missing through illness recently, Per Mertesacker could make a return to provide some experience to this much-changed Arsenal side.
MC: Mikel Arteta
Poor against Dinamo Zagreb last week, Mikel Arteta deserves another chance to show he can still be a good squad player for the Gunners.
MC: Aaron Ramsey
Moved into a preferred central role, Aaron Ramsey could play ahead of Santi Cazorla as Wenger rests players in the League Cup.
MR: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Perhaps switching to a 4-4-2 to accommodate these players, Wenger is likely to use Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as an out-and-out right-winger.
ML: Joel Campbell
Not yet used by Arsenal, Joel Campbell could start on the left-hand side as he looks to show he is deserving of more first-team action.
FC: Theo Walcott
Still up front after some strong performances centrally, Theo Walcott could do well to get another game here with a strike partner.
FC: Olivier Giroud
Poor in recent games, Olivier Giroud has a decent scoring record against Spurs and will be hoping to thrive with Walcott alongside him up front.
